Car play is designed in such a way that it doesn't need to replace the whole infotainment system, seems silly not to support it. it does kinda make more sense why apple would be working on a car, because if driver-less cars are the future, apples software could be locked out

Cracks in apple pay, its store version is only on 2 phones, apple pay for online stores is on 4 devices, secondly people using apple pay in apps is eventually going to lead it being the default way to pay everywhere, its not like plastic cards are going to make a huge comeback and crush modern technology almost every bank is behind apple pay and are not making there own wireless system to compete with it.

Finally some one who feels the same way, i checked the comments over at the verge for a similar story and they are all cheering this and "cant wait" comments. people should be afraid of google buying everything

Again i disagree. Light room pretty much fuctions the same on the Mac as it does on windows. Material design is a reference for how Google wants all apps to look for its OS just like what Apple has done with iOS 7 flat design. But not only does material design look out of place on iOS it doesn't even use the same gestures. its Google thinking they can fish iOS users over to there platform to gather data for ads more easily. And it seems like it's worked on you

I know you spent a lot of time writing this post but you are 100% wrong. Every app on my phone should not have its own design language i feel it should be consistent to the operating system you are using. I like the way apps look on iOS and Google has to force a design reference it made for its OS on iOS. material design is not something other iOS app developers are going to use on their apps so why bother. Keep that shit on your own os.

Why don't you get a android phone and get off this site android material design is nothing special it just adds more confusion when you see apps made for touch wiz. Google should be using the iOS 7 design not there hideous own one

quite a few reasons this is better than the card swipe NFC
1. card can be stolen and used by any one / visable number can be copied and used
2. you will need to carry a card for every account you have (more plastic cards more chances to lose and be stolen)
3. if your card is lost it has to be replaced with a new one including new number, not true if you lose your iphone
4. if iphone is stolen person would be unable to charge to apple pay without finger print
